Notes

1. Although the race's web site claims that the marathon was established in 1958, a number of other sources, including a statement regarding a memory of the race founder's son printed in a USA Track & Field publication, state that the race was founded in 1959. ^{[1] [2] [3]} In addition, both the Association of Road Racing Statisticians and the Asbury Park Press state that the inaugural race was held in 1960. ^{[4] [5]}
